50 Best Caterers in St. Louis

“some of the best sandwiches in town, great prices on their belly counter, great prices in the grocery section and they have everything you need for a picnic right next door in Francis park. honestly, I wish I could rate this place above five stars. try The Red Hot Ripplet deviled eggs. Trust me.“

“So fun and delicious! Our kids enjoyed this experience so much!“

“My employer uses them for catering our lunches when we are in town for training, the food is fire! 🔥 I wish we had them back where I live! Nice variety, fresh ingredients, well balanced, so good!“

“Good food. Reasonable prices. I've been battling cancer for a couple of years now, and these folks are keeping me eating! Thank you, thank you, thank you ! ❤️“

“Truly a hidden gem! When we first went to tour the venue, we were a little uncertain from the front parking lot. The entrance is very unassuming. Do not let that deter you! Once you enter the hall you are greeted with a beautiful space! From the black and white floors, the amazingly ornate wooden bar along the dance floor, the lounge areas, the fireplace and the perfect mood lighting, the hall is an absolute dream! The staff is amazing from the beginning of planning until after your big day. Incredibly friendly, and responsive and just all around great to work with. Hendri’s also offers their own catering, and they provided a wonderful meal that was complimented by many of our guests throughout the night. Even if you have another venue, I would suggest checking out Hendri’s for catering as they also cater offsite. All in all, I cannot say enough good things about Hendri’s, and highly suggest checking them out!“

“Fifth Wheel catered our rehearsal dinner at their fabulous restaurant, Rooster! The staff was amazing, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere in the space was second to none. We are still getting complimented on the experience by all of our guests. Thank you to Sara for coordinating everything and Meghan and her team for executing it and getting us across the finish line!“

“I ordered the box lunches for about 15 people and the food was wonderful! The process was so easy and there were so many options! Will definitely be returning!“

“The real deal Cuban sandwich. You won't find one better in the Midwest.“

“The team was great to work with! They handled the room flip seamlessly, and kept everyone happy and full all evening. I cannot wait to coordinate with this team again! Amanda- Lead Coordinator“

“We needed to order 75 lunches for a group. We are from out of state and Beat Box lunches were easy to work with, ready on time and tasted wonderful! Now they need to branch out and open in Alabama too!“

“This place is great and, dare a say, just a bit better than Bagel Union? Both places are great and the bagels are the same, but the innovations on breakfast sandwiches an other handhelds offered here makes it worth it to drive the distance, even if you are closer to Bagel Union.“

“Best BBQ Brisket I ever ate! We got the 14lb box for Easter. Our family loved it! So convenient and easy. Such a great flavor and food was promptly delivered with a smile. The the aujus with the Brisket is superb! We also got mac and cheese and baked beans and bread. Loved it all! Looking forward to trying more of his food options. Amazing Job! Thank you so much!“

“We were in St Peter’s Mo. and were going to go to Olive Garden for my Wife’s birthday, when I told our clerk at the hotel she said she would recommend the Pasta House over the Olive Garden. We went and had supper. Everything we had was great better than the other place. We took desert back to the room and it was great. I would recommend to anybody.“

“Got the brisket with sweet potato fries and pickles. My friend got the ribs and corn. Both were good, very tender. The sauce was also really nice (I tried all four and we really liked the spicy one the most).

The lineup was long when we got there but it was pretty quick, I think we had a 20-30 minute wait so not too bad (I once waited for an hour at a different BBQ place).

Placed our orders and food came out pretty quickly. The staff was really nice and recommended the sides (was not disappointed).

The inside had plenty of seating and had cool decorations, I think newspaper clippings or some articles lined the walls.

Overall, had a good experience and would definitely come back.“

“We had our wedding here, and Sabrina was great to work with! The food (we went buffet-style) was excellent, the hall is extremely nice and good for larger weddings, and the staff was very pleasant during our reception. They worked with us from start to finish to make the entire process smooth and easy on our end.“

“I had the privilege of working with Lily on a Corporate Event for a client of mine. From the initial call Lily made everything very easy for us and explained all the details. She was amazing to work with & their food was amazing too.“

“Desserts Out The Jar and More made an amazing peach cobbler for my family gathering! I would say it was as good as my grandmother's, and her peach cobbler was legendary. Yashica, provides great customer service, and was helpful and responsive to my questions. I would highly recommend Desserts Out the Jar and More for your next celebration. I'm looking forward to trying some of their other offerings soon.“

“Callier's Catering just catered by daughters wedding and it was amazing. I had been to a plated reception by them and we went with a buffet and both were exceptional. The most stressful thing with a wedding is the food. I had so many people come up to me and say the food was so good. The meatloaf lollypops and fried cannelloni apps were wonderful and I received many compliments on the parmesan encrusted chicken. Thanks to Catherine and her staff. They performed their tasks effortlessly. 10 out of 10. Thanks for making this a wonderful event.“

“From the first time connecting with Coleen to Chelsea and her team on-site during the wedding day, my husband and I felt Butler's Pantry went above and beyond in their service. Our venue was a blank slate so Butler's Pantry had to bring in everything. They did not disappoint and our reception looked amazing! The chairs, table, place settings and buffet display were beautiful. All of our guests raved about how good the food was and how beautifully the buffet was displayed. The servers even went and asked kids (who didn't originally sign up for a kids meal) if they wanted one and made it happen. We had multiple food allergies and the staff was wonderfully accommodating and everything was served to the correct people. We knew the night was going to go well when we arrived at our outdoor ceremony/reception venue (during 90-degree heat after taking bridal party photos) and 3 staff met us with water and kept checking on the whole bridal party. The whole staff checked on us throughout the night and the staff leaders checked on us before they left at the end of the evening. They were all wonderful, kind, helpful, professional and the food tasted AMAZING! We are so glad we chose Butler's Pantry!“

“i ❤❤❤EVERYTHING about Two Times Catering. The owner Arik is super nice, very accommodating, and the best part is that the food is always 🔥!! I have been using him for work functions for over a year His menu is very diverse, his prices are well worth it, and everyone whom i know that has had the opportunity to taste his food feels that they have been blessed by the food Gods! My favs are the TIP potatoes,w the shrimp and salmon, all the salads, and the best is the best JERK CHICKEN. ASK FOR a jar of the jerk sauce. Can't wait to take my girls to breakfast to try the new menu.“

“Amazing place.“

“We ordered Russos delivery to cater our wedding and they surpassed our expectations. For $1,000, we fed 80+ people and still had leftovers for days. Definitely ordered too much but that’s because we didn’t realize the subs were so packed with meats and cheese. Probably the best subs we have ever eaten. The pastas, fruits, cheeses, and salads were delicious as well. Our only disappointment was with the roast beef sandwiches which were lacking in the meat department as compared to the subs. But overall, a superb experience. We will definitely be ordering again as needed. Well done!“

“The food is delicious and the environment is welcoming with a vibe all its own. You definitely want to check this place out. Thank you Dalie’s for appreciating your customers and serving quality eats!“

“We are very grateful to Catering St. Louis for helping coordinate our wedding at the Bayer Event Center at the Missouri Botanical Garden. Everything was stunning! From the setting to the service, every detail was handled with care and professionalism.

A special thank-you to Tina, who guided us through the planning process with such patience and expertise. She answered our many detailed questions, helped us navigate every decision, and ensured everything exceeded our expectations. Her calm presence and attention to detail made us feel supported every step of the way. The food was delicious, including the passed hors d'oeuvres, the charcuterie boards, and the tasty and warm entrées.

The day felt seamless, elegant, and joyful — we couldn’t have asked for a better team to bring it all together. We highly recommend Catering St. Louis for anyone planning a beautiful, well-executed event. Thank you for transforming our ideas into something even more beautiful than we imagined!“

“Awesome food! All sides are tasty. Beans are on the sweet side. But still yummy. Ribs are 10/10 Love the variety of sauces they provide.“

“We rented the ice cream truck for our wedding. It was a big hit. especially for all the kids. They showed up on time and were so sweet. They had all the ice cream in stock and very professional. Highly recommend!“

“I have worked with JR a few times through business. He has never disappointed me with the food that was served to our guest. I highly recommend him for any events. Keep up the good work.“

“Please come to the Sunshine State😎“

“The prairie village location was SOOO GOOD!! We went on opening night and the staff was speedy, friendly, and professional even though they were slammed. Worth it for the price compared to other ice cream shops in the area. This will definitely be a new regular spot for us.“

“For consistently excellent service, friendly atmosphere and great food I highly recommend any GAR.“

“Me and my fiancé are having our wedding with Andre’s and they are amazing! They are very helpful and attentive to what we are looking for. The people are amazing and friendly at Andre’s, they make you feel at ease.“

“One of my Granddaugthers favorite places! Michele is the Best!“

“We recently used FSC for catering, and they absolutely over-delivered! The food was incredible—tender, flavorful brisket and perfectly cooked salmon that everyone is still talking about. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and right on time.

Michele was an absolute pleasure to work with—professional, attentive, and made sure every detail was handled so we could enjoy the evening without a single worry. Thank you, Michele and the FSC team, for helping make our event such a success! Highly recommend!“

“WOW

Stumbled in off the street for a bite to eat during the Lafayette Christmas home tour. I’m beyond happy that we did.

Every single thing we ordered was so good that it almost makes you sad to eat it - knowing you’ll run out eventually. It made me savor and appreciate every bite.

The bread service was my favorite thing by far. It’s a Tuscan style focaccia called schiacciata which is thinner, chewier, and crispier. Served with high quality olive oil and house made pesto. I could annihilate multiple loaves in one sitting.

Most impressively is the open kitchen that you see as soon as you walk in. The executive chef, herself, is manning the helm and making everything fresh to order. A sight to behold.

This is a place worth making a special trip even if you live an hour away.“

“5 stars Perfection👌 I cannot say enough about what an amazing experience it was to work with Patty Long Catering. From start to finish, Rachel did the most wonderful job helping us plan and execute my only daughter’s dream wedding at Silver Oaks. Basically, we picked the menu and Rachel took care of the rest. I’m really not exaggerating about this. I don’t live in STL and our daughter’s work schedule made it nearly impossible to do any face to face planning with Rachel. Then, unfortunately, 60 days out from the wedding, my father-in-law fell ill and passed away a month later. I share, not for sympathy, but to say this. You can certainly find other catering solutions in the STL area. But, it you want an absolutely stress free, beautifully catered event, Patty Long Catering is the go to vendor. TONS of compliments from our guests about the superior service and by far the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding! The wide range of menu options made it hard to choose. They ranged from traditional fare to fun selections, vegetarian, kids meals, buffet style or served dinner. We decided to go with a sit-down dinner for 225 people. The last thing we wanted was our guests waiting in long buffet lines like we’ve experienced at other weddings. In order to overcome long lines, multiple buffet stations could be used. However, buffet service takes away square footage from your dining area. So, if you’re tight on space, served dinner is a way to mitigate that. We went with the Dueling Plates menu option. Each guest received both portions of chicken and beef, garlic mashed potatoes, and a roasted vegetable medley. I don’t know how they kept all those plates warm and food delectable, but they did. The wait and bartender staff were fun, kind, and super responsive. They served each course and retrieved empty plates with military precision and efficiency. Rachel and the staff made sure everything went smoothly throughout the entire evening. It was overall just the most lovely experience! I cannot recommend them enough; Patty Long is our caterer for life!!“

“I've been using LaChef Catering for years. I highly recommend Jen and Melissa! Both are extremely knowledgeable and run an amazing business! The food is always delicious. Melissa is always so helpful and patient with me as I go about selecting menus. Our guests always rave about their food. LaChef knows our house, my likes, my needs, and they always help us to have perfect parties. You won't be sorry! Oh...and carmelized sweet bacon is an absolute must at every event!“

“Buzz's Hawaiian Grill isn't a mainland interpretation of island food, it's the authentic 'ono deal! We drove 2 hours up to STL just to hit this spot up again.“

“Had a catered lunch brought to work for a special occasion. Everything was perfect. The catering crew out did themselves. Every dish was fresh and the hot food was perfect temperature. Thank you!!!!!“

“We had a great experience using Orlando’s catering at the Missouri History Museum! They were pros at helping set up and the food was great! Jordan was our point of contact and she was amazing!! She made sure all of our questions were answered and we were able to enjoy our night!“

“We miss this chain after moving to Texas! This location was very clean and the service was great. Food was top notch as always!“

“Listen. I eat a lot of Lion's Choice. This particular instance, tonight, this Brentwood location absolutely crushed my delivery order. I asked for rare, the beef was rare as can be. I asked for a bunch of au jus, they gave me a piping hot styrofoam cup full (it's winter, nice touch). I asked for extra seasoning on my sandwiches, extra seasoning clearly present. The fact that this order was delivered and was still this good blows my mind, can't say enough, 10/10. My next visit will be in person simply so I can tip the staff.“

“Amazing team of professionals who care about every aspect of an event. My company Vivant Entertainment provided entertainment for an event held at their property and they were a delight to work with.“

“So here’s the thing,L I always go to this location. And the reason I always go to this one is because the staff is amazing. There’s one guy in particular. I think he’s a manager. I think his name is Brandon. He is always so funny and so personable. He make sure that my food is right every time and that’s what I appreciate about him. I always get the French dip. And I always ask for extra cheese. It is to the point where I don’t even have to ask anymore he knows exactly what I want. every time I go in there and it’s the best lions choice hands-down in the city.“

“Kendrick’s catered our wedding this past weekend and the service was top notch! The food was even better than I imagined! We had beef and turkey, pasta con broccoli, salad, mashed potatoes with gravy and dinner rolls! They took care of bringing all the utensils and dinnerware and served us! Very reasonably priced and they packed up our food and let us keep the leftovers.“

“Excellent service and Fantastic Soul Food“

“Ice cream is great, try the raspberry cheese swirl“

“This what's my first time there and everything was wonderful the food was delicious I recommend to all my friends and family

Parking: The lot is a little small but it's ok
